The most successful WorldSBK rider at MotorLand Aragon Chaz Davies made a strong start to the opening race weekend of 2021, as he finished second overall 🎉during Friday’s FP. 

Davies finished second in FP1 behind Toprak Razgatlioglu, before topping the hotter FP2 s𒆙ession ahead of Jonathan Rea and former team-mate Scott Redding. 

It’s absolut𒅌ely no surprise to see Daviesဣ start well as he’s enjoyed a solid pre-season for the GoEleven Ducati team, but more to the point, Davies has a brilliant record at the Teruel venue. 

The Welshman is the most accomplished rider at Arꦛagon with seven wins to his name - one more than Rea. 

Speaking after day-one, Davies said: "It has been a very⛄ positive day, it was the first day of the real season, quite late in May. We﷽ have been second quickest in the coolest conditions this morning and quickest this afternoon in the hot. 

"It's a positive start with the Go Eleven team and I have to be happy with the ༒way we worked today; we set a plan yesterday and we followed that. 

"Today the conditions were much hotter thanꦡ what we tested in, so we have a set-up even in cooler race conditions. It looks like it is gonna be cooler for the next two days, so I am not sure how relevant this afternoon session will be. 

"It could be a good thing, because in hotter conditions we have to wor💙k with the bike, not for the tyre, but for the feeling. 

"We are very close, it's just details.꧙ We hope to continue the progress tomorrow, I couldn't have asked for a better start of the season!"
